Currently in hospital thanks to the universe being an absolute cunt.

Long story short I found out I was pregnant last week - a happy shock as it happened way quicker than I thought it would. But due to bleeding was under the EPU. HCG was doing as it should but was scanned late this morning due to previous pregnancy history and told my left tube looked suspicious/ectopic - I asked if they could try to save the tube as it’s the only one I have left. They have had to operate as I was bleeding internally. It sounds like it’s been a mega shit day for other women too here and as such I’ve no idea the outcome of the operation yet and been moved wards due to bed shortages and feel I’m in no man’s land in a part of the hospital I don’t know - first world problems I realise.

I do recognise my privilege of already having two healthy children but I’m devastated. Always wanted three children as long as I could remember and feel the universe has already given me my fair share of shit with a previous ectopic and subsequent miscarriage (that both came laden with added trauma due to hospital shortcomings) so it feels really fucking unfair.

I’m now in that weird state of having slept off some of the anaesthetic and being a bit awake/not wanting to sleep and twiddling my thumbs. Mr Beds has left me with my kindle and headphones and has gone home to get me a battery pack for my phone and some pjs.

I am sharing the most 🔺 thing about me. I've shared I lost my first born at the age of ten in 2008, grief took a different spin.
I got a little obsessed by the BBC show I'd Do Anything. One of the young boys was not just similar to my son, he was a doppelganger. He was raised 10 miles away from me and went to theatre school less than two miles from my home. His accent was just like my son's I never crossed a line, did not contact him, even though when he was eliminated in the late stages of the competition I nearly did. This is that boy, not my son but he is spookily similar. He still has a social media presence and seems to be doing well. It's not my son but he sure looks like it.

@heretoreaditall2019 Congratulations! I’m so pleased for you.

So the date went very well, I enjoyed myself. I’m an amazing axe thrower and she’s very funny and makes me laugh. Date 2 will be on the cards very soon when we both can find time! Thank you all for the well wishes and thinking of me😊

Ninnies I have nearly finished my PIP review form. I am SO exhausted, just utterly drained of everything. I have so many different conditions that affect every fucking thing in my life and I've needed 2 extensions, so it's been a long slog. But it's nearly done and this is the only place I can be proud of myself for having got through it and know that someone will understand. I've felt guilty not being able to offer many words of support to those of you going through some really awful stuff in the last few months, but you have my love and solidarity. ❤

Also, since Hotes has so kindly clarified to me that EVERY day is caturday, I thought I'd show off Pickle Sphynx in one of her snazzy jumpers.

Hello Frauen, sorry to be the bringer of sad vibes but …

mr em dumped me on Sunday completely out of the blue. Said he doesn’t love me anymore. I’ve been totally pathetic since, can’t work, get out of bed, stop crying. I know it will pass in time but right now it’s SO HARD and my self worth is rock bottom. I feel like I’m just fundamentally unlovable (an ex once told me that) and I just cannot get it together. I saw no warning signs, nothing. Please tell me dating at 35+ isn’t going to be a complete nightmare. I thought mr em was my future 😕I feel like my whole world has imploded on me

Switchy has the right idea with frying toasties. Smash it down with a spatula. Cheese and pickle toastie is chef's kiss. I recently made a toastie with leftover pizza by putting more cheese and some vegan chicken between the slices and then dry frying it. If this is too maverick I'll accept joining slop corner with the other banished frauen.

After an assessment I'm going to join what I can only hope is an actual ninny ward when a bed becomes available. By yet another incredible coincidence the woman who assessed me was wearing a pair of slopgibbon-style red plaid trousers although I doubt they were Viv (rip). I hadn't yet caught up on the MT and realised the significance. It reassures me to think that maybe she was a secret mithering ninny. Not sure when I'm going to be admitted but I'm hoping for a quality chaos so put those Russell Brands together to manifest good wi-fi 🙏

I am a genuinely terrible cook, which is why Mr F does 99% of it, but he's away for the weekend and I have spent the afternoon making a cheese, onion, bacon and broccoli crustless quiche for my lunches next week which looks potentially edible. Note to self, cut the broccoli smaller next time!!

I promise this is my last word on the subject as per Poca's request: I would like to apologise for my behaviour over the last few weeks if I have contributed to people feeling unwelcome. It is only from reading a few posts here that I realise it is making other people feel excluded and that was not my intention. Am no well and I'm taking it out on other people which is inexcusable. Please don't feel like you can't post here if you would like to, I would love to see some new cattos or have new chattos. That's all. I'm going to do the urban equivalent of touching grass now x

Thank you all.

He went rapidly downhill this afternoon and I called the vet out. He went with his head in my arms being told how loved he was and with my two other ones standing close by. I miss him terribly.

Picture from last summer when he was 26, which no one ever believed!

Hello everyone! I definitely do not want to distract from the @kachoochoo cat in question so have been avoiding posting for a few hours 😅 do not want a Jack like Elevenife! More like a joint happy/sad post hopefully?
It was my birthday yesterday! (As in 03/07), honestly it was a hard day because it was my first without my elderly dog and my (supposed OH (yuck)).
I shall attach my beloved below, I had her for eighteen years, I was very attached to her from a young age and this ‘anniversary’ felt very strange to me!

And it has been a bitter sweet day. I had a good morning with my mum and sister, my best friend then came over, but I’m still sad? I know how privileged that will sound (she was a dog not a human, I know a lot about human loss too) but Jesus Christ, I miss her so much and it’s played on me all day.
can anyone else relate? I’m so sorry if it’s triggering.

I did jokingly say I'd draw all of your gardens when I was better but I doubt loads of us have gardens and frankly, gardens are rubbish to draw anyway. As a token of my appreciation I drew this instead, since you normally get car snakes and the like and not something I've spent time on. There's a slight possibility of 🔺 so if you know me don't tell my mum I'm hanging out in cesspit of villainy, thanks.

Good morning.

Well, I'm depressed. The capital D sort of an episode where having a shower is impossible due to the sheer weight of the water, and where sleeping 4pm to 1am seems totally normal.

I'm in anti-depressants, and will use my experience and resourcefulness to trudge it out.

I have to laugh, though. Depression is so stupid. I actually know I'm a smart, funny, amazing woman. Why on earth would I listen to my own brain telling me I'm so unworthy that washing some cutlery is not permissible?

As always, I am fine at work. My depression brain is extremely good at compartmentalising.

Anyway, it's good to normalise talking about depression and anxiety as if it's a bad cold. I've built somewhat of an immunity to it since 2018, so I may well do some housework on my day off tomorrow. And I'll spend time with the trio of ponies. Force myself. It's not climbing a mountain, but mountains are comfortingly always there to welcome me back. Thanks beautiful mountains.

!No responses needed! I hope you've all had cheery weekends

Exciting news to share with you all – I've just been offered my first full-time, professional job. Reading the MT has kept me sane while job seeking so I owe you all a huge thank(space)you for sharing your stories, memes, comments...just everything really. Can't wait to be reading Tattle on my lunch break lol! Lots of love to you all (now fuck off x) ❤

I tried my best, but Nibbsy says this is the closest she's getting to wearing that Santa hat! If I try and put it on her she takes off.
